Moreover, Rolling Stone reviewed, “It deals with the subject in an artistic and elegant way. The denseness of the original novel and the unique advantages of the video were perfectly combined.” The Hollywood Reporter said, “It is a story that transcends the times that strongly shakes the heart.” Indiewire also praised the work, saying, “It develops delicately and softly, but the intensity coexists.”

Vulture especially praised the actors’ outstanding performance. “Youn is excellent as the elder iteration, and Kim is absolutely astounding as Sunja in her youth. There is a clarity to her performance that becomes the foundation on which the whole series is built,” they wrote.

Meanwhile, Pachinko is an 8-part global project produced in Korean, Japanese, and English. The first three episodes will be released on March 25th, with additional episodes released every Friday until April 29th.
